Most local motorists avoid penalty points

22 June 2015

It's reported that a new garda operation is to crack down on motorists who dodge penalty points by failing to produce their driving licences in court.
The Irish Independent says new figures show 72 per cent of drivers convicted of penalty point offences over a 15 month period, avoided having them registered on their licences by the courts or gardaí.
It says between January 2014 and March this year, 88% of the 758 drivers convicted in Louth, and 86% of the 476 convicted in Meath, did not have their licence numbers recorded.
